The Belgian rock group Arid consists of vocalist/guitarist Jasper Steverlinck, guitarist David Du Pré, bassist Filip Ros, and drummer Steven Van Havere. The group's emotive alternative rock sound was spawned in 1996 when Steverlinck began collaborating with Du Pre while they were both involved in other bands. After leaving their other projects and recruiting Ros and Van Havere, Arid signed a deal with Double T Records in 1997. Their debut album, At the Close of Every Day, was released in Europe two years later and its critical acclaim won the group a gig opening for Counting Crows on their 2000 European tour, around the time that the album made its U.S. debut.

At the close of every day

At the close of every day
There’s a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
We’re all doing time
Something’s closing
Haven’t you heard?

The woman that we’ve tried to stop
Now sits alone just waiting 'til forever
Forever makes me cry
And I don’t know why all you people
Put that into my head
I can’t see why this conversation
Is looking kind of dead

At the close of every day
There’s a woman passing
Lover did you hear her say
Her one last word
I’m often doing time
And I don’t know just why you reckon
It would be this day and

Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape

So you do praise a different light
And I am blinded by it
So sorry that I made you cry
Your faith in me it had to die
I guess that
That it’s too late
The lights are out
The party’s over baby
And now
I wish I’d told you

Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape

Don’t you see that my heart’s on fire
Your wicked wings that you spread ’round me sometimes
All I know is that we’ve got to aim higher
Babe I wish that we’d go for the great escape

Too late tonight

It’s too late tonight
To save all of you
I’ve got to hold on
Make myself like you
You went on the velvet way
And every dying day
You’ve got your own love to shake
Into your mind again
Babe I want to know
Every breath that you save

And I’ll be there when you burn
And I’ll be there when you turn

It’s too late tonight
To go racing back for
It won’t work anyhow
The way you loved him so

Go on your wicked dance
But every fight you’re in
You’re gonna end all alone
Shedding your blood again
Baby I want to know
Every breath that you save

And I’ll be there when you burn
And I’ll be there when you turn

And I’ll be there when you burn
And I’ll be there when you turn

Every time it comes around
It picks you up and throws you down
All I know is I am bound to fall
Over with you
Love, you must be thinking of love
Love, you must be thinking of love
Got to keep moving
Lover you hide from me every time
Love, oh love, oh love, oh love
Yeah you must be thinking of love
You must be hiding out

And It’s too late tonight
To go running back for
It’s too late tonight
Don’t break every red rose
It’s too late tonight
Hold your head up

It’s too late to go

All will wait

We wait for love to come
We’ll all go down
We’ll take our turns
We walk across
A new born world

The ship is turning over now
We’re trying to hold it up
Just one more time tonight
I feel all right
Been turning on that very point
You ought to stay anyway
Don’t you wanna bring holy love today
Don’t you wanna pray

Oh, no, yeah, all gunned down
Hold your tears
Oh don’t you break my very own life
Hate, pulling me down
You will walk, you will walk
Hot tears coming down hard
The pain inside
Don’t you hate
Cause I know you
We just walk, we just walk

All will wait for us
All will wait for us

Little things of venom

Out on the scene today
Blasted in every way
Got you
Caught on the other side
Some things you just can’t hide
Feel the poison of change in me
All that I’ll ever be
Comes back
Crushing on into me
Here it comes again

Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no

With every step it takes
Something inside me breaks
Hang myself by a rope of words
Whether or not it hurts
Got to
Save you from all of your
Demons that had to score
Every trick that you’ve pulled before
Here it comes again

Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no
Has it spotted you
Oh no
Have they got you too
Oh no

We’re heading for a fall
Set your mind at ease
Won’t you save us from
These little things?

We’re heading for a fall
Set your mind at ease
Won’t you save us from
These little things?

Believer

If I could be someone
Within an hour or a day
If I could turn the wheel of fortune
Could you guess what I would say

If I could be a believer
If I could be whatever
You’d want me to be
A believer, a believer, a believer

Someone, someone
To make your every day
Yeah, someone just trying
To wipe them tears away

Yeah, someone burning fires
On the edge of every town
Yeah, someone just rolling
In your love as it comes down

And if I could see things different
If I could turn the clock of time
If I could re-arrange the play love
I would never leave you behind

If I could be a believer
If I could be
Whoever you’d want me to be
A believer, a believer, a believer,

Someone, someone
To make your every day
Yeah, someone just trying
To wipe them tears away

Yeah, someone burning fires
On the edge of every town
Yeah, someone just rolling
In your love as it comes down

Someone, someone
To make your every day
Yeah, someone bitter morning
Come and play your solid blues

A believer
A believer, believer, believer, believer
Then I might stop
Then I might stop playing pretend

And if I could show you
My heaven I’d wear my thorny crown
I walk the stairs of seven
I walk them down

Dearly Departed

Fingers numb, feel sick again
I call on you, you my friend
You’ve stung my heart
With your goodbyes
The lemon sweet of your lies

Let the dirt cover me
Kiss the sky, as you fly on high
Over all that’s left to be
I’ll see you when I fall

I’m so tired, put me to sleep
I dig a hole, I dig down deep
I see faces in the black
Grabbing hands pulling me back

I am lost within myself
No I can’t be someone else
So many things still left to say
I'll see you when I fall

Face the phantoms in my sleep
They say time heals, will it for me?
With every cut you’re in too deep
As sorrow plants another seed

I let the dirt cover me
Kiss the sky, as you fly on high
Over all that’s left to be
I’ll see you when I fall

I’m so tired, put me to sleep
I dig a hole, I dig down deep
I see faces in the black
Grabbing hands pulling me back

I am lost within myself
No I can’t be someone else
And it makes me wonder why
All good things they come to die

Behold the sadness in my eyes
I’ll forget and live my life
Though you’ll burn inside of me
I’ll see you when I fall.

Me and my melody

Oh lord
It’s pulling me down
Oh darling
How weak this crown

Do you fail
To understand
What is heartily now
What’s in your hands

Oh creature
Oh love
Strained now
'Til we get enough
I ain’t afraid no more
As they batter down the door

Who you are and what you say
You’ve built it up some other way
Isn’t that crime these tears divine
Love you tear me up sometimes and

Oh darling
You and me
Stuck on time as we see
The outside world fade away
'Til the dark
The dark of the day

Who you are and what you say
Does it mean now anyway
Throw off your crown, tread me down
Oh baby stop all feelings now

Oh we’re worlds apart
Helpless as we are
You and I
Walk on by
Our little love will die

Still walking the bridge to God
Thinking things that I can not
Relate this to what you say
Bricks are falling down this day, oh

Oh darling
The weeks to come
Ain’t nothing but the sound of your drum
You can stay or walk away
As I, I long to say

Who you are and what you say
Babe we’ve lost now anyway
Isn’t that a crime these tears divine
A river ‘round your waist sometimes, oh

And stuck in tears as we’ve gone too far
Babe you’ve built a wall
That’s hard getting through
Getting through to you

Who you are and what you say
Held down anyway
Oh darling fear brought us here
Oh oh, hold hands she don’t want me tied
Her hands still stuck in mine
Baby I long to see, oh oh
Hey you, my tears won’t mend
Until the end

World weary eyes

You should have seen her
All her days are all filled with tears
You should have seen her
Touch her greatest fear

You should have seen her stumble and
Fall you should have seen
You should have seen her out on
The wire once again
You should have seen her missing out
On every chance

Oh the wall and the wicked
And the storm in her mind
And the fire oh baby
She’s dying sometimes
She’s gonna leaving it
To the others to sort it all out
And the fire oh baby
I want you to be now
I want you to be now

You will see when things chance
She’ll soon fled the town
You will see there’s someone
Holding her down
You’ll see her she’s the object of
A sickened kind of love
You will see her nights end
In pieces, once again
You will see her missing out
On every chance

And oh your world weary eyes
Oh your world weary eyes
And oh should I fall into your trap again
Or should we just stay friends

Life

Hey kid
Hasn’t love bit you lately?
Well maybe
Still yet to come to fulfil and erase
Yeah raise

And circumstances dancing around my head
It’s the way to your soul that holds me alive

We forced up the fear
That’s why we’re wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn’t that why we’re here, love?
Life, life, life, life life

My baby she knows
The weight that I’m under
Life, life, life, life life
Life, sweet life

We forced up the fear
That’s why we’re wandering
Life, life, life, life life
Just hold on my dear
Isn’t that why we’re here, love?
Life, life, life, life life

My baby she knows
The weight that I’m under
Life, life, life, life life

It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be
It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be

Life
Hold on tight to the life
Life, life, life, life
It’s going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
It’s going to be our little trial
Life, life, life, life
And she
Holds me alive
Life, life, life, life

Elegy

Hold still
Don’t move I say
Wilt thou hear
My elegy

Head high
Preserve my pride
I shall defy the gallows

I and you and me
Well we just don’t know
What love can do

I
I pledge to you
That I won’t deceive
The heart that’s mine
As here I sit

I vow
Your history does not
Perish my love

You may strike me down in anger
You may hold a different vice
You may talk about me
Spreading ‘round your foolish lies
You may say it all comes
Down to just one thing
You either take it
Or you leave it
And bear the consequence it brings
I’ve kissed the lips of angels
I’ve mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I’ve tried
Living by you rules
I’ve walked with the restless
They don’t get much sleep
I’ve made another promise
One I could not keep
You make strike me down in anger
You may burn me with your eyes
You may talk about me
Spreading ‘round your foolish lies
You may say it’s all or nothing
And that there’s no in-between
And all I need to do is focus
And stop living in a dream
I’ve tried to make a difference
I knew that would not last
While trying to move forward
I got caught up by the past
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Can? Can I take it?
Can I ? Can? Will I try to
Break away from you?
I’ve kissed the lips of angels
I’ve mingled with the fools
Lord knows how I’ve tried
Living by your rules
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you
Sing with me, sing with me
Sing with me, sing with me
All I did was get close to you
All I did was get close to you

You are

I want to live with you
In your beds of bliss
Want to hide out
In your tenderness
I want the world to be
Made complete
On your life I will feed
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
It’s freezing you
You’re frozen still
Memories
Come flooding in
Turn the reel
Reverse the past
Are you trying to make
This moment last?
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
What I cannot hide
I want to live within
Cause I can’t live without
I want to build it up
So it can break me down
I am gonna let him have
His way with you
Do all things that I wanted to
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
Feeling
Free
Born into the last divide
If
You are
Like the summer rain
You are
What I can’t explain
You are
The hurt inside
You are
And again, and again
And again, and again
The murder inside

Silent reproach

You riddle, you say
You throw yourself
On to me
It’s kind of hard to lay it down
Just one two three
And I know
Just why you take it slow
You’ve got those things
Living down, down below Of the heart
You make it harder
Every time it comes around
We tell each other
It’s not fair the way you take me there
And then you go and waive it off
Pretend you just don’t care
But if you love me
With all of your heart
There’s no need to worry
Why do you have to make it so hard?
And if you can’t stay
Baby it’s allright I
I’ll be your blowtorch
Burning your way throughout
The night
You riddle, you say
You throw yourself
On to me
It’s kind of hard to lay it down
Just one two three
And I know
Just why you take it slow
You’ve got those things
Living down, down below
With every tremor
Of the heart
You make it harder
Every time it comes around
We tell each other
It’s not fair the way you take me there
And then you go and waive it off
Pretend you just don’t care
But if you love me
With all of your heart
There’s no need to worry
Why do you have to make it so hard?
And if you can’t stay
Baby it’s allright I
I’ll be your blowtorch
Burning your way throughout
The night
Bridge
But if you love me
With all of your heart, yeah
There’s no need to worry
Why do you have to make it so hard?
And if you can’t stay
Baby it’s allright I
I’ll be your blowtorch
Guiding your way throughout
The night
But if you love me
With all of your heart
I’ll make you proud of me
I’ll guide your way throughout the
dark
And if you can’t stay
Baby it’s allright I
I’ll be your blowtorch
Guiding your way throughout
The night

The body of you

Baby no matter what love’s got
To offer
I throw myself down
I am at your feet
I taste your lips
Of soft deceit
As my retreat
Baby no matter what they say
About us
I long to go down your river wild
You’re God’s only child you see
The death of me
The body of you
Broken and still
I’ll never know
How good it feels to finally forget you
And all that you are
I’ll never know why
Our love has been scarred
Baby no matter what love’s got
To offer
I throw myself down
I am at your feet
I taste your lips
Of soft deceit
As my retreat
The body of you
Broken and still
I’ll never know
How good it feels to finally forget you
And all that you are
I’ll never know why
Our love has been scarred
Baby no matter what they say
About us
I long to go down your river wild
You’re God’s only child you see
The death of me
Baby no matter what love’s got to
Offer
I know that it’s lost and almost gone
I know you’re holding on

Everlasting change

It’s a beautiful day to rest your soul
If you cannot girl
It will not let you go I
Have to strain every word just the same
It’s a beautiful day
If you think so cause I still
Have no place left to go I am
Hanging in
Caught up in its swirling winds
And I hope you change your mind again
You wade right through me
Love undo me from
This everlasting change
Is swarming in my brain
It’s taking over, it’s drawing closer
It’s a beautiful day to rest your soul
If you cannot girl
It will not let you go I
I am alright roaming into the
Wondrous night
It’s a beautiful day if you think so
Cause I still have no place left to go
I am falling from
Everything that you’re hanging
On to
I hope you change your mind again
You wade right through me
Love undo me from
This everlasting change
Left swarming in my brain
It’s taking over, It’s drawing closer girl
This change has come to change
Set our to rearrange
It’s taking over, it’s drawing closer
I am just going through the motions
Baby
You know I am just pretending to be
And that’s all I have to do to make her wild
Got her come running right back at
Me oh girl
This everlasting change
Is swarming in my brain
It’s taking over, it’s drawing closer
Girl
Is it everything you want?
Is it everything you haunt?
Or are you feeling lonely?
Is it all you’re hoping for?

Wintertime

All of my life
I’ve always felt
All of my life
As if I was blessed
I don’t really want to hold you now
Wasn’t love supposed to show me how?
Oh it’s feeling kind of lonely now
In the wintertime
All of my life All of my life
This secret I hold
I don’t really want to hold you now
Wasn’t love supposed to show me how?
Oh it’s getting kind of lonely now
In the wintertime
Baby I know
It’s all make-believe
And they’re all just trying to make
You see
Baby you’ll fall into my arms
And I will be holding you for charm
You will be loved sent from above
I don’t really know if we’re going
To make it love
And I’ve got to be all that you’ll be
In the wintertime
Won’t you be the one?
Trying to hold on when love is gone

I wonder how come

I wonder how come
We never closed the deal
I wonder how come
You left me here to feel
I wonder how come
The birds no longer sing
In their praise of your perfect
Offering
And why you’re just a day away
From me
And I am here
And she broke my fall
I wonder how come
Your lips are ruby red
And your heart’s always been set
Like that
I wonder how come
I see it in your eyes
And it comes to me as no surprise
And why you’re just a day away
From me
And I am here

Move your head

Baby all these tiring
Things you do know
Were they built to set and kill
Your own vibe?
Don’t you think it’s time?
You move your head
Along this rhythm now
Ain’t no God gonna
Get you out of this somehow
Baby I’ve been strolling
Along these hurting streets
Don’t know what to throw away
Or what to keep
Don’t you think it’s time?
You move your head
Along this rhythm now
Ain’t no God gonna
Get you out of this burning house
What is more?
That is all
Enough is less
To grab it all
Don’t you know that the rise
Always comes to a fall
Untill you’re gathered safely in
Can you feel it slowly drag you down?
Can you feel it turning you around?
Don’t you think it’s time?
You move your head
Along this rhythm now
Ain’t no God gonna
Get you out of this burning house

I wish I was all of that

You and that thing that you are
That you are
You and those things that you’re not
That you’re not
I wish I was all of that
You and that thing that you are
That you are
You and those things that you’re not
That you’re not
I can feel the threads ripping away
At my heart
And I am down in the dark again
I wish I was burning your skin
I wish I knew the load that you’re in
I have the toils bringing me down
Stretched in this world
Strewn all around
Scattered in parts
Lost in the dark
My love
This leaden heart
Love reigh here in the realms
Of pain
I am growing older love
I am growing colder love
How long can love seize the fire?
Restrain the sparks of our desires?

Million lights

Night has fallen
Curtains are drawn
And I’ve been singing
The same old song
About
How it feels
To be lost and alone
In a faraway place
My love
I see al million lights
And they all blend
Into the night
Visions slip into view
They all remind me of you
And what it is you might be doing
At the other end of the night
Every country I go
I travel the plane and open road
As the sky unravels, the truth unfolds
I’ve been looking in the eyes of love
I see a million lights
And they all blend
Into the night
Visions slip into view
They all remind me of you
And what it is you might be doing
At the other end of the night

Right this time

Sudden as the day arrives
To wash away the night
Soon you grab a hold of me
Here tonight

When all hope has left your eyes
And you can no longer see
I will be there by your side
Faithfully

I will see the light in you
I will find a way
I will find the heart in you
When you fail

I know that the darkness will
Will amount to light
I will keep your secret safe
Here tonight

I will see the light in you
I will be your guide
Open up your heart to me
You will find

Right this time

I will see the light in you
I will find a way
I will find the heart in you
When you fail

Sudden as the day arrives
To wash away the night

When it's over it's over

I hear the ticking of clocks
I hear the ticking of clocks
I'm waiting 'till it stops
I'm waiting 'till it stops
I hear the ticking of clocks
I hear the ticking of clocks
All things measured by time
I'm biding my time

All laid out before me
The signs they implore me
The time has come for me to let you know

When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright

I hear the ticking of clocks
I hear the ticking of clocks and I
I'm hoping it'll stop
I'm hoping it'll stop and
When you look at me
When you look at me
What is that you see?
What is that you se now?

All laid out before me
The signs they implore me
The time has come for me to let it go

When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright

When all you had and all you once believed in
When all you had and all you held so dear
Disappears

I don't know which way the wind will blow

When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
When it's over it's over
When it's over it's over
You'll be alright
You know you will be fine

Words

I know how you feel
You’re still hopeful
For something real
We always knew
This day would end
And leave us silent
Once again
I hope you know
The state I’m in
I complicate
Most everything
I hope you know

I know how you feel
You’re still hopeful
For something real
We always knew
This day would end
And leave us broken
Once again
I hope you know
The state I’m in
I complicate
Most everything
I hope you know
Just what it is
I hope you‘ll find
Just what you miss
I hope you

It will come to you
At the break of day
It will come to you
It’ll wash away
It will come to you
Like the morning sun
It’ll come to you

There’ll never be another you
There’ll never be another chance at bliss
There’ll never be another you
There’ll never be another time like this

I hear your words
You call my name
There’s nothing left for us to say
I hear your words
Come sing to me
In broken voice, you’ll set me free
I hear your words
You call my name
There’s nothing left for us to say
I hear your words
Come sing to me
In broken verse, you’ll set me free
I hear you

I know how you feel
You’re still hopeful

Why do you Run

Why do you run
From me
My life has become
Lonely
Cold water trails
Surround me
When all that I’ve feared
Has found me

Maybe I’ll never know
Maybe I just can't see
Maybe all I want is right
In front of me

Feel my time is running out
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own

Why do you run
From me
My life has become
Lonely

Maybe I’ll never know
Maybe I just can't see
I just can't afford
This happening
To me

Feel my time is running out
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
Feel this time it's coming down
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own

One last time we
Go
Away we go

Feel my time is running out
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own
Feel this town it's coming round
Baby I want you to know
One day I will get it right
Till then I hold my own

Why do you run
From me
My life has become
Lonely

Lost Stories (Run away with you)

You look at me and then you walk away
You say words only you can say
I want you
Like I do

You step outside in the blistering rain
You tell me all I need to hear again
And I want you
Like I do

Couldn't kill it if you tried
It's up to fate to decide
Nothing’s ever lost
Unless you want it to

I'll run away with you
You take me to the place that you know best
There's not much time we should be moving fast
If we want to
Make it through

You laugh at me, you're playing hard to get
You say trouble hasn't found us yet
And you want me
Like you do

Couldn't kill it if you tried
It's up to fate to decide
Nothing's ever lost
Unless you want it to

I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

If You Go

If you go
I'll never know
Why my heart is set down low
My body yearns, the soul returns
To its sleep now
It's just a goal, how will I know
You don't mind and love don't grow
It's just a turn, my body yearns
For your sleep now

Hey see my face
I've played it all a thousand times
In my mind

And it's you that I want
That I want,
That I want now

If you go
I'll never know
Why my heart is set down low
My body yearns, the soul returns
To its sleep now
It's just a goal, how will I know
You don't mind and love don't grow
It's just a turn, my body yearns
For your sleep now

Save it 'till the morning, when the rise
Becomes the fall

And it's you that I want
That I want
That I want now

I don't know where I'm going

You
You
See
I don't know where I'm going
I see a light
I'd fix it all if I could this time
Stretched out before me
I can only see

See the light
Burning out
See the love
As it goes
And it wars you out
Could you have been
All that you wanted to
Carry me, carry me home

I don't know where I'm going
If you see the way
I could hold you through the night and day
Stretched out before me
I can only see

See the light
Burning out
See the love
As it goes
And it wars you out
Could you have been
All that you wanted to
Carry me, carry me home

I traded fame for love
Without a second thought
It all became a silly game
Some things cannot be bought
Got exactly what I asked for
Wanted it so badly
Running, rushing back for more
I suffered fools so gladly
And now I find
I've changed my mind

The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love

I traveled round the world
Looking for a home
I found myself in crowded rooms
Feeling so alone
Had so many lovers
Who settled for the thrill
Of basking in my spotlight
I never felt
So happy

The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love

No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark

The face of you
Substitute for love
Substitute for love
Should I wait for you?
Substitute for love
Substitute for love

No famous faces, far off places
Trinkets I can buy
No handsome stranger, heady danger
Drug that I can try
No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal
No laughter in the dark
No one night stand, no far off land
No fire that I can spark

The face of you
Substitute for love

This is my religion

Marooned

Out of the world today
into your light tonight
Let it all slip right through,
let it all slide.

Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.

In a haste and running I forgot to say
the indifference is grabbing me.

Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.

To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends, of me and my friends.

The lady in red, she swallows my pride.
There's no chance of victory tonight.

Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.

To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends, of me and my friends.

It's coming 'round, it's coming 'round,
it's coming 'round to claim its ground.
It's coming 'round, it's coming 'round,
you will see.

Out of your world today
into the light tonight.
Let it all slip right through,
let it all slide.

Out of your world today
into the light tonight.
Let it all slip right through,
let it all slide.

Where would we be without our endorphins?
Sleeping in corners and street-ends.

To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends.
To the rescue, to the rescue
of me and my friends, of me and my friends.

Soirée

You can take me any place
You wanna take me
I can be your long lost soul

You and me together
We can be forever
No one ever needs to know

Glowing on the outside
Burning on the inside
I know what you really feel

Time to set fire
To your little heart now
You know all it wants is me

I just want to hear you
Screaming out you love me
And this little game we play

If you would just let me
Come a little closer
I’d fill up the empty space

You can take me any place
You wanna take me
I can be your long lost soul

You and me together
We can be forever
No one ever needs to know

You can take me any place
You wanna take me
I can be your long lost soul

Tell me all about your
Little tiny secrets
Are there things I need to know

We can walk around or
Sit here for a while
I know what you really feel

You just want to go set
Fire to your heart
‘Cause all it ever had was me

I just want to hear you
Screaming out you love me
And this little game we play

If you would just let me
Come a little closer
I’d fill up the empty space

You can take me any place
You wanna take me
I can be your long lost soul

You and me together
We can be forever
No one ever needs to know

Time, oh time takes care
Of all our sorrows
Time heals all
Do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me
Straight down to my
Rotten bones

Oh do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me
Straight down to my
Rotten bones

I just want to hear you
Screaming out you love me
And this little game we play

If you’d only let me
Come a little closer
I’d fill up the empty space, oh

It’s the time of the year, it’s the time of the year
It’s the time of the year, it’s the time of the year
It’s the time of the year, it’s the time of the year
To be grateful for what you've got my dear.

Oh oh oh do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me
Straight down to my
Rotten bones

And I’ll be, and I’ll be, and I’ll be
Whoever you’d want me
And I’ll be, and I’ll be
Your long lost soul, long lost soul, long lost soul
Don't ever let me go
Don't ever let me go, oh

I just want to hear you screaming out you love me
And this little game we play
If you would just let me come a little closer
I'd fill up the empty space, oh, ohhhhh

Baby, just maybe
Oh, baby, just maybe
Oh, we can find a little space
To make it all
Oh to make it all come true.

Hey do you love me?
Do you hate me?
Do you want this world to break me?
Terrify me
Straight down to my rotten bones
And I'll be yours

She keeps Moet et Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette

A built-in remedy
For Kruschev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline

She's a killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness

Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidently
If you're that way inclined

Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Drop of a hat she's as willing as
Playful as a pussy cat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive

She's a killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new

A little cry wants someone badly
I wanna know if this is a bad lease on me

I want to know
I want to know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight

Now I want someone badly
Someone to burn in here with me
A little cry wants someone badly
Don't do anything just do it with me

I wanna know
I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
Cause if you're leaving just do it tonight

It’s a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she’s hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she’s lived it ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
He’s in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?
It’s on America's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Now the workers have struck for fame
‘Cause Lennon’s on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia os out of bounds
To my mother, my dog and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
‘Cause I wrote it ten times or more
It’s about to be writ again
And I ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! Look at those cavemen go
It’s the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he’ll ever know
He’s in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

Take the time to make some sense
Of what you want to say
And cast your words away upon the waves
Bring them back with Acquiesce
On a ship of hope today
And as they fall upon the shore
Tell them not to fear no more
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...
Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan
I'm not saying right is wrong
It's up to us to make
The best of all things that come our way
And all the things that came have past
The answer's in the looking glass
There's four and twenty million doors
Down life's endless corridor
Say it loud and sing it proud
And they...
Will dance if they want to dance
Please brother take a chance
You know they're gonna go
Which way they wanna go
All we know is that we don't know
What is gonna be
Please brother let it be
Life on the other hand won't let you understand
Why we're all part of the masterplan
